Prepare
If available, keep the event date and location, police reference, treatment or expense records, insurance correspondence and any notice already received.
Step 1
Write a short timeline and separate events you witnessed from information received from others.
Step 2
Ask which claim route may apply, who should be involved, what records need checking and which dates require prompt attention.
Step 3
Discuss these notes with an advocate of your choice, or open NALSA’s legal-aid information to ask about professional assistance. The service determines eligibility and representation.
What to check
A dated factual brief helps the lawyer assess the possible process.
If you need help
If records conflict, keep both and explain the difference. Do not estimate compensation from a generic online formula.
